Here at the NDRC, we’ve seen our fair share of Supreme Court decisions, good and bad. But we were baffled when the Court’s conservative majority ignored its own precedent to reject the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s reasoning for adopting fairer maps. Salon: “Sotomayor torches ‘unprecedented’ Supreme Court ruling that could gut protections for Black voters” This decision follows another recent decision that allowed Republican-drawn maps in Alabama to stay in place, reasoning that it was too close to the election to change them. Yet that concern apparently did not apply in Wisconsin, where primary elections are also coming up soon!
The unfortunate reality is that the conservative majority on the Supreme Court is as hostile to voting rights as ever. And that makes our multi-pronged strategy to fight gerrymandering and protect voting rights even more important.
We can’t rely on the courts alone to save our democracy. We also need to hold Republicans accountable for manipulating the maps and suppressing the vote, replacing them with Democrats who value voting and democracy, and who will prioritize fairness in redistricting.
We’re working to shine a light on gerrymandering and voter suppression wherever it occurs and support champions for fair maps and voting rights, but we can’t do it without your support. Pitch in now to help us continue these critical efforts:

ALERT via New York Times: "Federal Judge Finds Trump Most Likely Committed Crimes Over 2020 Election"
Do you think Trump should be held accountable?This is HUGE, team: A federal judge has ruled that Donald Trump's actions on January 6th amounted to "a coup" and that "the illegality of [Trump's] plan was obvious."And now, the committee investigating the insurrection is planning even MORE public hearings to reveal key evidence about Trump's involvement!This is a massive turning point in the investigation. Trump and his team have spent more than a year doing everything they can to stop the Jan. 6th committee from getting to the truth -- but now ALL of Trump’s attempts to avoid accountability could come crashing down.We need to PROVE that Democrats won’t let Trump bury the truth. Please, we need 43 more responses from your state, so tell us now:Do you think Trump should be held accountable? |
Just want to remind you what this movement has achieved together, Sula: That didn’t just happen on its own. That happened because folks like you rose up, showed up, testified, donated, and mobilized your communities.
Now we have to do it again. (Chip in to help.)
Republicans have shown that they won’t stop at gerrymandering. Their campaign to undermine our democracy stretches from passing voter suppression laws to advancing anti-democratic legal theories to attacking election officials to stacking state courts. Even the January 6 Capitol attack was intended to overturn a free and fair election!
That’s why, in the words of A.G. Holder, “[The NDRC is expanding our] “scope to help ensure the frontlines of our democracy are protected. This is a moment of critical importance, and we must not sit on the sidelines this year as we fight to protect our representative democracy.” |
So what do you say, Sula? Will you help us fight against what A.G. Holder has called the GOP’s “continuing un-democratic and un-American goals?" Thanks, Ben
